In real life, Clark’s Paris gang doesn’t sound any more down-and-out than Kids’s kids really were. Sevigny is from suburban Connecticut, Fitzpatrick from suburban New Jersey. Similarly, according to Dazed Digital, Lukas Ionesco, one of Smell’s stars, is the son of a film director, while Angie Sherbourne, another, is already a successful model. And it doesn’t sound as though they do anything more self-destructive than smoke a little weed — which, any Franco-American will tell you, is, compared to its American counterpart, kid stuff.
